Lemongrass Chicken is my favorite dish that I ALWAYS order every time I go to a Vietnamese restaurant. With an air fryer, the skin is fried to a perfect crisp while the meat is still super juicy and tender. The marinate has such an outstanding balance of savory and sweetness while the fish sauce gives the dish so much depth, and the lemongrass keeps the dish refreshing. Give this Lemongrass Chicken with Savory Scallion Oil recipe a try; I promise you will not regret it!
